六、阅读理解

“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a

temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many

different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost everything.

When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say. “It’s cool.” You

May think,“He’s so cool,”when you see your favourite football player.

We all maximize(扩大)the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many

words, such as “new” or“surprising”.Here’s an interesting story we can use to

show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her student to write about the

waterfall(瀑布) they had visited. On the student’s paper was just the one

sentence,“It’s so cool.”Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw

and felt.

But the story also shows a scarcity(缺乏)of words. Without “cool”, some people

have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some

credibility(可信性).Can you think of many other words that make your life as

colourful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.
